Tom Wolfe carves Bottlespirits
CC-128
$13.46
Bottle spirits swirl around in bottles of all kinds. Sometimes they glimmer in
the glass. You can always hear them if a breeze or your breath passes over the
top of the bottle. But it's not too often that they show their faces. So how do
you know at first glance what's really inside a bottle? Once you decide what
kind of spirits are living in your bottles, Tom Wolfe will set you to work
carving charming faces to match. Using small pieces of scrap wood, basic
carving tools and paint, and not much time, Tom guides the reader through the
carving of a rebel soldier, a viking, and a laughing imp. The finished carvings
could be hung around a bottle, a neck, on a Christmas tree, or anywhere else
that could use a little personality! More than 200 color photos paired with stepby-step instructions demonstrate the process, and a full-color gallery of 20
different carved bottle spirits that would stimulate anyone's imagination. Ideal
for both the novice or more experienced carver, this book explores Tom's
basic approach to carving a face and the countless possibilities, simple or
intricate, that follow.

Kolrosing Knife
$24.95
Kolrosing is a little known but very beautiful craft having Scandinavian
roots - often mirroring intricate rosemaling patterns. It has all kinds of
untapped possibilities from decorating spoons, carvings, furniture etc., or
making a picture. Draw with the knife just like you would a pencil (no
shaving is removed). For tight turns and extra fine control the cut is quite
shallow, levering the tool away from you with the opposite hands' thumb
against the rounded back of the blade. Then take a pinch of extra finely
ground coffee, (powder consistency) rub it into the carved area, sand away all
excess coffee, apply finish, and voila! Some people eventually gain enough
control to even sign their name. (Be sure to check out the VHS/DVD devoted
to kolrosing). Blade is approx. 5/8" long.

Optima #1 HD Large Skew (PH1)
CTVWC#:
Price:
WB-008
$19.95
Good for running quill lines, and burning larger feathers (like on life sized
geese or eagle feathers). The longer blade burns long even lines, but turning
radius is very limited.
Optima #10 Small Skew - STD (PS10)
$19.95
Great for the miniature carver or anyone that needs to do small fine detailed
work.
Optima #11 HD Med Skew (PH11)
WB-031
$19.95
A little smaller than the Large Skew (1), has many of the same uses. Has a
better turning radius & is stronger than the Large Skew (1).
Optima #11 STD Med Skew (PF11)
WB-030
$19.95
A little smaller than the Large Skew (1), has many of the same uses. Has a
better turning radius & is stronger than the Large Skew (1).
Optima #12 HD Rounded Skew (PH12)
WB-033
$19.95
Like the the small skew, but can turn a corner real easily. This is the most
popular pen that we sell. Get this one and the #18 when ordering one of the
Cheryl Dow books!

Optima #12 STD Rounded Skew (PS12)
Available now. An even smaller version of the ever popular number twelve
pen tip. Song bird carvers will really like this pen, especially in the ultra fine
version (fine pens tend to be even smaller than the HD ones shown).
Available in extended version.
Optima #13M HD Scale/Shader (PH13)
WB-038
$19.95
What originally started out as a Cheryl Dow design for flat work pyrography,
was changed slightly via Scott Clinton to become a fish scale pen also. This
tip is available in small, medium, or large sizes. The medium size (Shown
here) is probably the most versatile for most carvers and flat work
pyrographers.
Optima #14HD RH Feather Edger Guge
WB-041
$19.95
This pen design is from Bob Guge. Anyone who has taken a class from him
has probably made one. Great for burning in primary's, or anywhere you
would otherwise use a pen to burnish or depress wood. Instead of depressing
and moving the pen for each area along a line "like you would do with other
pens", this pen is designed to act like a ski. Just put it at the start of your
feather edge, and follow it. Saves you a lot of time. I recommend getting this
one in the Heavy Duty Style, as it will stand up to the rigors of burnishing
with a pen of this design.

Optima #17 HD Hair Burning Pen (PH17 WB-046
$19.95
This tip is used to make hair on your caricature or mammal carvings, instead
of using a tear-drop shaped dremel bit, or micro-V hand gouge. Obviously,
you may still need these other tools for wider furrows, but this pen will make
short work of the medium to finer sized hairs on your carvings (up to 1mm
wide). This tip is only available in heavy duty style, as its design requires a
thicker tip wire. It can also be used to do fine hair/feather work, where you
can adjust the width and depth of a line by just pressing harder (rather than
increasing your heat settings). As this pen tip has a limited "choke point" in it,
it may tend to get more heat to the pen body.
Optima #18 HD Spear Point shader (PH1 WB-049
$19.95
This new shader looks a lot like the #5 spear point, but has squared off edges
(not sharpened), and it is bent at a 45 degree angle for shading. Great for
when you need to shade an area that's in a tight spot.

Optima #9 HD Mod Writing Tip (PH9M) WB-027
$19.95
Used for writing your name on your carvings. As there is no "choke point" in
the tip, it does tend to heat up the pen body more than most pens.
Optima #9 HD Mod Writing Tip Small (P
$19.95
Very similar to the standard #9, but has the end of the tip ground
symmetrically, and the end is perfectly round. This is a good choice when
you need it for more than just signing your work like for "Pointillism" or
drawing, and the "choke point" created at the end of the tip also keeps the pen
body much cooler for much longer than the standard #9 pen does. The end of
the tip for the 9M pen is about 0.040" in diameter (1mm), and about 0.030"
(3/4mm) diameter for the 9MS pen. Look at the #19 pens if you want
something similar but bigger.

Optima #9PP Pin Point Tip
$19.95
Another variation of the #9 & 9M, but it has been ground so that it comes to a
sharp point. Good for when you need to do very fine dots or fine surface
lines. It is sharp, so you may need to sandpaper the tip down a little bit to
your liking.
